Joe Mixon, Azeez Al-Shaair expected to play Saturday

Running back Joe Mixon was added to the injury report Thursday with an ankle injury that kept him out of practice Friday, but it doesn’t appear the team will be making plans for life without him against the Chiefs.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Mixon expected to play in the divisional round in Kansas City. The Texans recalled JJ Taylor from the practice squad on Friday and also have Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale on the 53-man roster.

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was also listed as questionable after being limited in practice with a knee injury. He is also expected to play on Saturday.

The only other player listed as questionable for the Texans is wide receiver Robert Woods, who has a hip injury that kept him out of practice all week. All players’ statuses for the matchup with the Chiefs will be known at 3 p.m. ET.
